Fire Rating Weight Cost/m² Lead Time

SCORE METHODOLOGY — Performance scores (0–100) are weighted composites derived from published test data, UAE climate considerations and GCC project benchmarks. Thermal Performance: steady-state U-value and thermal mass · Fire Performance: EN 13501-1 classification and DCD approval scope · Lightweight Rating: inverse of self-weight vs category maximum · Cost Efficiency: inverse of indicative supply cost · Programme Speed: inverse of procurement and installation lead time. Scores are indicative — project-specific conditions apply. // DATA VERIFIED MARCH 2026 FROM UAE MANUFACTURERS AND DCD-APPROVED SYSTEMS. FINAL VERIFICATION WITH SUPPLIERS REQUIRED BEFORE SPECIFICATION.

How Verification Works

Application

Submit company details, materials covered, trade licence and compliance documents.

Doc Review

CladWise team reviews trade licence, DCD/ADCD status and ECAS certifications. Every listing reviewed by a human — no auto-approval.

Go Live

Profile goes live within 2 business days. Verified badge issued once documents are confirmed.

Annual Renewal

Documents reverified annually. Verified badge is removed if certifications lapse — keeping the directory credible.

No Fabricated Metrics

We show you exactly what we've verified and what we haven't. No guesswork.

Compliance-First

Data sourced from MoIAT, DCL, QCC and DCD published requirements. Not general directories.

Founding Cohort

Suppliers joining now are listed first, verified first, and shape how the platform develops.

Common Questions

The platform is new — how do I know anyone will see my listing?

That is exactly why we are approaching you now rather than in six months. Platforms that take off in B2B construction do so because a credible supplier foundation was established early. Your listing will be seen by every architect who uses CladWise UAE from day one — and that audience grows over time. The alternative is joining after your competitors do.

We already appear on other directories.

General UAE business directories list every type of contractor. CladWise UAE lists only façade material suppliers — and only verified ones. Architects using this platform are specifically searching for façade systems, compliance documentation, and technical data. That is a fundamentally different audience to a general directory.

What does the free founding listing include?

The full platform experience, with no time limit on the listing itself. Build your company profile, upload your compliance documents, list your materials and services, and add your notable projects. Your listing goes live and remains active as long as CladWise UAE operates. Suppliers who want verification, priority placement, and RFQ routing can upgrade to Verified Supplier at AED 999/year. The Featured plan at AED 2,499/year adds top-category placement and dedicated support. The base listing stays free permanently.

How long does verification take?

Standard verification is completed within 2 business days of document submission. Founding Supplier and Featured applications are prioritised within 48 hours. You will receive direct email confirmation when your verified badge is issued.
